Where to Eat
Blue Ridge, by the plate.
The town fits more good food into a few walkable blocks than places ten times its size. Sorted by occasion rather than cuisine, so a favorite still stands out inside a longer list.

Special Occasion
The town punches well above its weight for fine dining, and the best rooms fill up on Friday and Saturday. Reservations strongly recommended.
Ferraro's Kitchen
Chef-owner Igor Ferraro is a Venice native. Pastas finished tableside, including a cacio e pepe rolled in a wheel of Parmesan, and a Wine Spectator recognized list.
The Black Sheep
Appears on nearly every "best of" list for the area. Rustic, locally sourced, good outdoor tables.
Whiskey & Water
Seafood and bourbon.
The General Ledger
Inside a 130-year-old former bank building, with a table in the old vault. Worth it for the room alone.
Hours and menus change often here. Several good spots close Monday and Tuesday, which catches guests out, so it is worth checking before you drive in.
